I recall seeing it....anyone know where it is exactly and how much it costs per suitcase/item?

Cheers!

Was 120 BAht last time I used it about 1 year ago.

They're located at the top of the escalators on the departures floor.

Thanks, any idea approximately which gate number that would be at?

How much good does that do if   the security wants to inspect inside your baggage?

I have never had security wanting to inspect the luggage that is being checked in......

Gate 3

There's a couple of locations, gate 3 sounds about right and at the top of the farther one along so I'd guess about gate 6?

They're easy enough to spot.

That's what I wonder about.  When you land, do you cut it off for customs?

Only if they request it-the main concern is that it has arrived safely and intact?

Yep.  The idea is to make sure nothing extra gets put in your luggage that YOU didn't put in there.  Don't want to be somebody's mule and be transporting something.  Also it can help any claim you have if something is found missing upon arrival at your destination and if the wrap is missing.  Take a photo at the check in desk and at the luggage on arrivals.  

After watching a few episodes of "Locked up Abroad" recently on TV, I envision taking as many precautions as possible.  Usually I just travel with a carry on.  I keep an old large hard American Tourister suitcase around.  The one that used to be in the old TV commercial where the "Gorilla" would be cut in and shown tossing the luggage around as a bell hop or cabbie.  I still laugh at that.  Nothng against soft luggage, but when I bring my suitcase it is the rock.  Amazingly on one trip it somehow still got massively dented along the hinge line.  Takes quite a whack for that to happen.
